Touchstone Pictures is in negotiations with LA Confidential helmer Curtis Hanson to direct the action thriller Gemini Man.

The story follows an NSA agent who tries to retire and is targeted for death. He, quite interestingly, discovers that his assassin is a younger cloned version of himself.

The project will see a veteran actor cast the as the agent, with his younger likeness digitally grafted onto a stuntman’s body as the younger clone.

It has been in development for over a decade. The original was written by Darren Lemke and rewritten by various scribes over the years.
